Friday 29th July - Darwin


Friday 29th July

Malcolm took Dmax off for it's 10,000 km service. We have had such a saga trying to book it in, then reschedule, service dept never open, sales guys not passing on messages etc. Finally we had spoken to someone who seemed to know what they were doing, last Friday and she had sent us an email to confirm the booking. Turns out Isuzu gives their vehicles to Mitsubishi to service, and Malcolm caught up with Richard, surprise surprise, as his Pajero was also being serviced. Anyway, they had no record of any of our details (despite Malcolm having given them on 3 separate occsions). So we were the at the end of the line. It took all day, so I had a leisurely time finishing off my book in the shade with my feet dangling in the pool. I hate caravan parks, everyone crammed in like sardines, living on top of one another, but today I was grateful for the pool. We raced off to Coles at 5:00 pm after the car was ready. I was so impressed. The butchers was sooo good. Grass fed rump steak at 11.99. In Coles, 3 extra large avocados for $3.00. We all agreed, we are being ripped off in Perth. Back to camp to mount the camper back on to Dmax. It went smoothly. But we did discover we had filled up our 120 litre water tank with non-drinking water – after I had specifically asked a garden staff member which tap to use! So it was an empty out and refil job. I will be quite glad to get back to the bush again.
